Jean Baudrillard’s death brings a rare gravitas to online chatter.
It’s not often that a philosopher tips up amongst the American Idol wannabes and Myspace searches that normally litter Technorati’s top ten searches. But then Baudrillard was if nothing else the philosopher of the MySpace generation. Who else would argue that the first Gulf War was but a computer game simulation?

The dead philosopher’s Technorati spike is nearly up there with Paris Hilton on a bad day. He’d be proud.
